Yellow Xanax is a medication that contains alprazolam an antianxiety medication in the benzodiazepine family. This is the same family that includes diazepam (Valium), clonazepam (Klonopin), lorazepam (Ativan), flurazepam (Dalmane), and others.

Yellow Xanax comes as a tablet, an extended-release tablet, an orally disintegrating tablet (tablet that dissolves quickly in the mouth). The tablet and orally disintegrating tablets are usually taken two to four times a day depending on the strength. The extended-release tablet is taken once daily, usually in the morning.
